Fast EV charging
High-power solutions for DC electric vehicle charging
With the ever-growing number of electric vehicles on the road and pressure from governments to reduce vehicle emissions to zero by 2050 at the latest, there is a great need for more efficient charging solutions.
As various consumer studies show, the acceptance of electromobility depends on a large extent on the availability and duration of the charging process. High-power DC charging stations are the answer to these market requirements. Already today, a typical electric vehicle can charge about 80% of its battery capacity in less than 10 minutes. This is comparable to refueling a conventional car with an internal combustion engine.
As the market leader in power electronics, Infineon helps you realize energy-efficient DC fast charging designs. Benefit from one of the most comprehensive, ready-to-implement one-stop product and design portfolios on the market, covering the full range of power conversion, microcontrollers, security, auxiliary power supply, and communications.
Advanced solutions from control to sensing to next level security and connectivity
For DC EV charging designs up to 150 kW, Infineon’s discrete products offer the best price/performance ratio. This include the 600 V CoolMOS™ SJ MOSFET P7 and CFD7 families, 650 V IGBT TRENCHSTOP™ 5 and 1200 V CoolSiC™ MOSFET. The unparalleled benefits of our CoolMOS™ and CoolSiC™ MOSFETs include high-frequency operation, high power density and reduced switching losses that enable you to achieve high efficiencies in any battery charging system. Our portfolio of high voltage switches is complimented by 650 V and 1200 V CoolSiC™ Schottky diodes. Since every switch needs a driver, and every driver needs to be controlled, we also offer the matching EiceDRIVER™ gate driver as well as XMC™ and AURIX™ microcontrollers for EV charging designs. OPTIGA™ products complete the portfolio and ensure data protection and security. Chargers in the power range above 50 kW are typically built with IGBTs CoolSiC™ MOSFETs and diode power modules, e.g. CoolSiC™ Easy Modules, IGBT EconoPACK™ and the IGBT EconoDUAL™ family. Charger piles with a capacity of more than 100kW are usually built in a modular approach with stacked sub-units. Already today, these sub-units have reached a capacity of 20-50 kW each and will go beyond that in future designs.
1200 V CoolSiC™ MOSFET Module
The EasyDUAL™ 2B 1200 V, 6 mΩ half-bridge module with CoolSiC™ MOSFET, NTC temperature sensor and PressFIT contact technology allows for highest efficiency for reduced cooling efforts, higher frequency operation and increased power density.
